Accelerated particles emit electromagnetic radiation. Emission

from very high energy particles has unique properties for a

radiation source. As such radiation was first observed at one of

the earliest electron synchrotrons, radiation from high energy

particles (mainly electrons) is known generically as synchrotron

radiation by the accelerator and HENP communities.

The radiation is highly collimated in the beam direction

From relativity


Lorentz invariance of wave phase implies kμ = (ω/c,kx,ky,kz) is a

Lorentz 4-vector

Therefore all radiation with θ' < π / 2, which is roughly ½ of the

photon emission for dipole emission from a transverse

acceleration in the beam frame, is Lorentz transformed into an

angle less than 1/γ. Because of the strong Doppler shift of the

photon energy, higher for θ → 0, most of the energy in the

photons is within a cone of angular extent 1/γ around the beam

direction.

For a particle executing non-relativistic motion, the total power

emitted in electromagnetic radiation is (Larmor, verified later)

Lienard’s relativistic generalization: Note both dE and dt are the

fourth component of relativistic 4-vectors when one is dealing

with photon emission. Therefore, their ratio must be an Lorentz

invariant. The invariant that reduces to Larmor’s formula in the

non-relativistic limit is

For acceleration along a line, second term is zero and first term

for the radiation reaction is small compared to the acceleration

as long as gradient less than 1014 MV/m. Technically

Insertion Devices (ID)

Often periodic magnetic field magnets are placed in beam path

of high energy storage rings. The radiation generated by

electrons passing through such insertion devices has unique

properties.
